"1 AX WILL GET STATE AID
The State Aid Will Amount to Considerable
Sum and Guarantee Salary'
e.nd Seven Months Term.
* I
Nearly all the districts in the
county have held special elections in
order' to qualify under that equalizing
act by which the school term may
be a minimum of seven mourns ana
. the salary of the teacher may also be
increased. To carry out the provisions
of this one act alone the legisla.ture
will have to make an appropriation
of over a million dollars be?iX"
the other acts aiding the schools. But
what better investment can a people
make than the proper education and
training of the children of the state.

THE PEOPLE ARE STILL
BARBECUE HUNGRY
i
j Ths people are still barbecue hungry,
that is if one is to judge by tne
large numbers that are attending the
fine barbecues that are beiig given
by the barbecue makers of tn?> county.
Mr. Monroe Wicker has the reputation
of being one amoi.g the best
meat cooks in the county and his
barbccues always draw a large
crowd. He served a barbecue last
Thursday at the fine grove in front.
- c ni Vv .TnVm Wicker
UI tliC I COlUtllv.^ . ..
and there were j at * least 400 people
fed, but Mr. Wicker had plenty meat
and hash to go round. We had a
seat down with Sheriff Blease and
came back with Mg Frank Hunter.
Could not stay long as this was our
day to be at the office.
The crops down this side are fine
and have a healthy and wholesome
appearance.
The people are in fine spirit and if
the boll weevil does not come and
the seasons continue there is going
to be a fine harvest in this county
when harvest time comes.
' There was another barbecue on
Saturday at Fairview down near the
T-pvinfrton line given by Mr. Martin
? 0 ?
and the attendance at this cue was
'good fpr Saturday. The meat was
! cooked by Mr. J. E. Shealy of Newberry
and it was fine. Mr. Shealy
told us that he had been cooking barbecue
meat for at least 40 years.
There seemed to be plenty to stipply
, all demands and some fof sale after
the people were fed. We had a seat
down and back with Sheriff Blease
and left soon after dinner so as to
be in Newberry on Saturday afternoon.
j The crops down this side are good
and the corn especially fine, but that
* " A?,j ,*f ;?.
is true ail over uie cuunuj. xmu m ?
well because as we have so often remarked
plenty corn means fat porkers
and chickens and turkeys and
many good things to eat and also
means that the mules and . horses
will be cared for. * .5
'On Friday coming there are to be
two barbecues, in the county, one at
Young's Grove and one at Mr. D. E.
Halfacre's near St. Phillips and just
how to make both we have'not yet
determined, but somehow we will
, make the effort. Can't miss any
1 Newberry barbecues.

GEORGIAN OPPOSES
"MIXED BATHING"
Introduced Bill in Legislature to
Regulate Suits and Dvide
/ Sexes.
. '% ?
Savannah Morning News.
Sarannahians will view with a
great deal of interest and not a little
alarm the progress of a biTT now in
the Georgia legislature to prohibit socalled
"mixed bathing," or the practice
of men and women using the
same body of water for bathing at
~
me mine muc.
The bill, if passed, would be the,
death blow for Tybee and all other
bathing resorts in Georgia. For who
would care to sport in the breaking
surf when there are no fair ones
arcurd to play hero to, and none but
one's own self to save from * the
treacherous terrors of the undertow?
Very few, certainly. The ' ocean
would perhaps still remain an object
of admiration, but its chief attraction
would be gone, and with it the
large crowds that flock to the sumfixer
resorts.
The bill, as introduced by Senatoi
H. B. Wilkinson of the forty-ninth
district (yes,"the forty-ninth distifbl
As quite a distance inland), reais ir
part as follows:.
"It shall be unlawful for m'ales anc
females to bathe together at anj
time. At all resorts a rope shall di
vide the place where each-sex is t(
be allowed to bathe, and the location.'
shall not be less than 100 yards apart
In all such places the bathing sni
, shall cover the body from tne Yrm
'pits to the knees; moreover, tha
: there shall be provided differen
| dressing places which shall Be at leas
j 100 yards apart, and that all watch
imp or spying shall be unlawful. Yio
|latio:is shall be misdemeanor?, arw
J object to * fine of nnt less thai
$100 or more than $5,000, or pun

lion applicable to private as well as

It is VlifTicult to determine what ac- j
tion the legislature will take with the
bill, but it is not thought probable,
that such a measure wii' pass, 'or, if (
it does pass, will prove constitutional. I
It is interesting to note in con- j J
"Oftinn with the above the heated <
discussion that is raging through the 'f
British press over the propriety of
allowing mixed bathing. England 4
stands alone among European coun- 1
tries in her stand against this form 1
of Jbarhing. and some laws recently:
I passed by sea i\*>rts on the coast of <
* England prohibiting mixed bathing <
| on the grounds that "if young men a
were to see girls in modern bathing
suits they would never marry," has!
started a discussion that is ringing :
through the British press with the
fervor of a national question. ',
